Basic petrochemicals
Basic Petrochemicals are chemicals obtained from an ethylene plant by thermal cracking and separation of hydrocarbons such as naphtha. Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation's Mizushima and Kagoshima plants produce petrochemical starting materials such as ethylene, propylene, benzene, and toluene.
